Happiness is...a couple of spare hours on a Saturday afternoon, a staple gun and some Echino fabric! I whipped up these little babies and hung them in our hallway (sorry bad lighting when I took the hallway photo).

While we're on the topic of great Australian designers, how about some Trelise Cooper inspiration. But wait, you say? Trelise Cooper is from New Zealand, you say? Well, yes, but we claim lots of other talented New Zealanders as our own, so what the hell!

Fabulous fabrics and a real flair for colour combinations characterises Trelise Cooper's collections. The picture at the bottom is from her children's range. I'm sure it's ridiculously expensive, but it is absolutely gorgeous.

To kill a hummingbird? That's the title of the summer collection from Australian label Body. I absolutely love their ballet-meets-streetwear designs. In the past they have typically done a lot of stretch pieces (below) but recently they've incorporated some cotton prints (above) which are just lovely.You can check out their collections here.
